A very old (april) sketch. AU details under the cut.
Dammit i have way too many ideas about this AU, but i have way too many AUs that i'm also brainroting about 😭😭 But basically:
This took place when Orpheus was veryyyyy close to reaching the truth
Alice (who was merged with the Abyss at the time) was worried that the truth maybe too much for him (and to her) so she kind of created a sitcom/silent film-themed essence and put everyone's soul there (but then i will also have to explain the fanlore of essence function and how involved others' survs and hunters are in it) aka Wandavision style
The DeRoss family included Alice, Orpheus, Burke, his husband Bane, Bonbon and 2 daughter: "Memory" and the Lost Girl
YES the very Lost Girl that Orpheus was commissioned to find but somehow she ended up in this situation. Right under his nose. Now Orpheus just needs to remember and figure out what's going on.
On the other hand, Nightmare is messing with Alice regarding this. Hos stance is [redacted] which keeps challenging Alice to do whatever she's doing.
However, he's not an enemy
The real adverseries are the forces outside of the manor and the Abyss...
OK i think that's it for brainrot session. I may come back to it. Or I may not. But still, it's one of the fun story for me to think about when i commute to workplace daily for 30 minutes...
